Six Hearts over Texas: What I'm Wearing

So I've lost a few pounds recently, and that's gotten me thinking more and more about fashion. As you may know, I'm no longer a stay-at-home mom, which means that my typical wardrobe of buffet britches and t-shirts will no longer suffice. I am a legal advocate and do need to dress professionally for court a couple of times a month, but for the most part, my office is pretty casual. We can wear pretty much anything besides jeans with tears/holes and t-shirts....and I've even gotten by with a plain white tee dressed up with scarves, etc. before. I figure if the boss lady tells me how nice I look, I'm good.

I've decided to start trying to post some of the outfits I've been wearing lately. A little disclaimer...I can not afford expensive clothes. I have 4 children (one of whom is in college), and I work for a non-profit. That alone should shed some light on just how skim my clothing budget is. :) So most of my posts will feature things that are extremely budget conscious. For instance...this entire outfit was less than $80. If you leave out the bag, it was only about $42! I used a comparable bag on the polyvore site, because I have no idea where I got mine, but I know it was less than $40. :) It's pretty similar to the one listed here though. :)

(P.S. I'm doing this via my polyvore boards because I'm not brave enough for cameras just yet. We'll see how it goes...maybe one day!)
